SHADOWLAND

Close to Thorsby in rural Alberta, Canada, a farmer has constructed Shadowland — a recreation of a frontier town of universal location and indeterminate time, populated by black wooden townsfolk and livestock.

Is Shadowland the epitome of an inaccessible Alberta past, or the substantiation of our projected collective pioneer experience?

Either way, real shadows — impersistence of memory; neglect — continue to cast a veil over the true history of local origins.
